Profanity a.. '-

Frank Morton of MoSSS.'- "o'' y
was boarding in April last at Il
Arlington House, Wichita. He was
a good-hearted young man, but in
clined to scott at religion. Led by
curiosity, he visited meetings then
being held by members of the Saliva
ton Army, and on Friday night,
about the middle of the month, plac-
ed himself among-the penitents at
bench. After the meeting Morton,
in company with a friend, repaired
to the hotel and for some time stood
talking at the counter near the clerks
desk. There were propably twelve
or fifteen other people in the office at
the time. Finally Morton's friend
said. Good night, Frank. and Nor
ton responded, Good night: I'll
meet you in hell before morning"
Almost before the words were out
ofhis mouth he lay stretched on the
floor, falling as he had been struck
with club. The people in the room
ran to him, and, lifting him up, they
saw his closed eyes and livid face,
looking for all the world like death.
He was gently laid back on the floor.
and DR.. j. II. Hoskins the nearest
physician, was called. He saw at
once that the man was not dead, but
thought that he had an epileptic
stroke or had taken poison ofsome
kind. After working with him for
some time consciousness was restor-
ed, but he could not move himself to
speak. After yainly attempting to
speak or arise he motioned for paper
and pencil, which was given him.
The first thing he wrote was the adj
dress of his brother and asked them
to telegraph for him Henext wrote,
"When l made my last remark l was

Morton was subsequently sent to
his home. He evidently regarded

Talk With an Old Wine Expert.

Does wine get seasick ?" asked a
reporter of Frank L. Pommer, the
champagne expert.
Certainly it does" he answered,
land it does not recover from it until
it has laid a month undisturbed in a
cellar where the temperature does
not vary. In warm weather requires
longer rest. This is why our firm i'm
ports so little during the summer
months. Frost is also a great enemy
of pure champagne, and it is danger
Gus to import it during very cold
weather. When touched by frost
wine becomes Aaky, and it often
takes months for it to recover. The
facilities for protecting wine from
frost while in transit from Rheims to
the seaboard are very poor, even if
the wine was not affected by the voy-
age.
"Clarcts and Burgundies should
rest a month to recover from the eff
fects Of sea voyage. Rhine wine
cannot be imported at all in summer
excepted except in glass, and even
then it needs rest Englishmen mag
inc that champagne is not and has
lost its sparkle. This is an absurd
idea. In this condition it is really a
kind of Chablis. Clarets, with rare
exceptions, are unfit to drink after
becoming 10 years old
